All Ho~ Ho'd Out!!

Well...it's official, I did my part this holiday season. You may remember that I explained in my last Fit Tip that the average person gains seven pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. I am happy to report that I came in a little below the average! I did weigh yesterday and I have GAINED THREE POUNDS! Yuck!

But at least I know...right?! As hard as it was to get on that scale yesterday...I am glad that I did. As our yearly calendar hits the reset button, so should we. I think that it's important that we all have a starting place. Note that I didn't say anything about a Resolution! So take some time today to think about how you're going to hit your Health and Fitness Reset Button! Goals give us a purpose and there's nothing that motivates me more than knowing there is a finish line!

We, as your trainers, are ready to help you not only to set your goals but to map out a pathway to them. So...we can do your bodyfat or measurements, do a treadmill or push-up test, or give you some goals to improve your flexibility. Now that I know I've got some (more) pounds of fat to lose...I've de-junked my kitchen and am ready to start making my way toward my finish line! How you measure success is up to you...but I think we all do a little better with our program when we have a goal in mind. If your goal is weight or body fat loss...take that first step onto the scale. Knowing is a lot better than not knowing because then at least you can start moving in the right direction! Happy 2009! Let's make it a GREAT year!
